Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex, by Angela Chen

hopeful informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

5.0

I honestly don’t know how to put into words my feelings for this book, which I just finished minutes ago. It’s just...as an asexual person, reading this book made me feel seen in a way I haven’t felt before. And on top of that, it also made me think: of compulsory sexuality, of relationships and what each “kind” of relationship can mean, of love and what that can look like. Of so much more than that. I want to spend time simply...digesting it all. Perhaps later this year or next, I’ll re-read it in order to annotate and allow myself more time to sit with it. Very good work overall, I’m impressed and deeply satisfied.
